That's because the startup page is just that, one dialog box amongst the rather large number that exists in VS; it wouldn't make sense for MS to put it there (any more, or less, than it would to add it to, I dunno, the Search dialog box)...
As has been pointed out already, it's in the same place as every other application.

I disagree. Version can be stamped next the logo.

Sure. Anything can be added anywhere. The next question is, what do you start duplicating everywhere, and what do you skip over?

I just want to it see as soon as I start the program.
Just a thing with me. I do it for all my own code.
Having the wrong version and not knowing it right away can lead to some issues.
I had some issues with an older corrupted version of VS and took me awhile to sort it all out.
Fixed now.

Sure, but the About box displays much more information than just the VS version, it queries other bits and bobs which have been added on, and that takes time, so it's better to do that only when the user requests the information.
In fact, when I went into About the other day, one of the installed bobs threw an exception and a message box popped up -- that would be unwelcome upon every time I start VS.
And as already covered, I always start VS without having it open a file or solution. The same with Word and Excel, I have them start empty and then I tell them what I want to do.

Understood. I was just proposing the version# should be part of the opening banner. No about tab or anything just the version number. As I said in later post just a thing with me. I have version number be first piece of info for the start of all my own programs. No biggy.

I'm not a fan of splash screens and such; to me they're just meaningless information which distracts my brain from the task. If I want it, which I rarely do, then Help/About does the trick.
Oh, one other thing, with VS only, is that I have three versions installed on my work laptop, and I have a button for each, so when I click "VS 2015", that's what I get.

Do you always use the same starter?

I always do.
I have wondered how easy would it be, given a series of someone's shared Wordle plays and knowing the final word in each case, to correctly deduce someone's starter word.
For example, I now know 3 letters that @OriginalGriff uses and 2 letters that aren't there.

Yes - it has the most common three vowels, and two very common consonants - so it covers a lot of possibilities.
And who knows? It must come up one day!

I have been using the same starter for months! It seems you and I may be using the same word!

Oh, BTW: You have to give the right name with an "@" code - OG[^] is someone who hasn't logged in since 2001!
If you go to the member homepage, the "@" code is in the top left corner - mine is @OriginalGriff
